lyjothall Rules,
Are Modified!
New York. Doc. 2$. ? The Intercol
legiate Athletic Association adopted
and submitted to its rules committee
today a resolution calling for a modi
fication of the football playing rules
whereby the injury to contestants
may be confined to a minimum.
This is the resolution as introduced
by Prof. K. K. Hall of Dartmouth,
and adopted after three hours of
acrimonious debate
"That the football rules committee
of tliis association be instructed to

Only three negative votes were reg
istered .i gainst ?the resolution, . but I
nearly every college in the Weil had 1.
something to ?ax concerning it.
